“And I’m clearly not alone. We’ve now got 145,000 followers on Twitter and an incredibly active community on our App. So we’re opening up Vibe Tickets for people to invest in our vision, and share in our success via Crowdcube.”

“This investment round will make 10 per cent of Vibe Tickets available through Crowdcube.We’re looking for fans, followers, friends and venture capitalists to invest anything from £10 towards our target of £600,000.”

Vibe Tickets is an ethical marketplace for fans to connect, buy and sell tickets for any event at face value prices.

Luke added: “It’s a great opportunity for anyone who wants to help us outsmart the ticket touts and help us build something that’s genuinely disruptive and incredibly useful to genuine fans.”

Luke said spending time with Branson was a life-changing experience.

He said: “Not only did I get the chance to pitch to someone of the stature of Sir Richard with Virgin Media Business’ #VOOM competition but I got through to the last three and received the sort of advice that money can’t buy.

“And the thing I love about Crowdcube is that people will be able to invest from as little as £10 so everyone can get involved.”
